Hi! I'm managing a mail gateway that handles 250.000 msgs/day on average. Mail comes from Internet towards internal servers and is filtered (spam, virus) at the gateway before entering the vpn link. System works quite well, except on cases where some large mails (that are really wanted adds) collapse the vpn links for hours making small and often more important mails to get queued.
I would like to know if it is possible to implement some kind of queue running precedence, in which I could mark messages with a priority based on some filter (side, headers, etc) and then only process low priority mails with que queue runner when there are no hight priority mails waiting to be delivered with retry time reached. The algorithm would be: At reception: each mail passes through a filter which assigns a priority value, from 0 (max priority) to 99 (lowest priority). Mails with priority other than 0 are queued instead of sent directly. The queue runner sorts mails in the queue based on the priority, and starts sending those with priority 0, then priority 1 and so on. When one category is ended, the queue should be read again to see if new "higher priority" mails have arrived the queue. Is this possible today? Any chance to get it implemented? Any help to implement it?
